    You guys are great!

    I chucked out a half used out of date jar of peanut butter yesterday that was lurking in my cupboard.
    I also sorted out a pile of cardboard boxes to give to the recycling men tomorrow and then recycled two empty chocolate tubs that I'd put in the shed (not sure why)

    I'm wondering what to do with a box full of assorted drinking glasses that have been hanging around the house for about five years - any ideas?

    I too unsubscribed from a lot of junk emails I didn't wish to receive any more. All was well for a few weeks and then over the last few days I've been receiving loads of them! Completely irrelevant ones too! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    gemmajenkins0208 - I know what you mean, I somehow keep getting different betting site emails - I keep unsubscribing but prob got about 8 yesterday and already had 2 today - other than that lovely empty email box x

    I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't done more, I only seem to get rid of little things, haven't yet tackled the bigger areas or a lot of the kids stuff. And my larger baby items that I spent ages listing for sale have still had absolutely no interest :(

    had some time today so decided to tackle the side attic in search of the tv stand for the tv that used to be on the kitchen wall. Not finished yet and not found the stand but I did find 4 stands that don't fit and I've no idea where they've come from! :o

    so ........

    89 - 92) 4 tv stands
    93) old cake tin
    94 - 95) 2 jam jar lids
    96 - 97) two cardboard laptop boxes
    98) ice cream maker (not fit to make ice-cream)
    99) broken glass jar
    100) old file
    101 - 173) random boxes, bottles, & general tat

    phew! - I most definitely deserve a glass of wine tonight!!! :D:beer::j

    After a period of illness this month, I've made a start on decluttering:

    - 3 pillows, binned
    - 4 glasses, binned
    - 2 cardboard boxes, binned

    I'm focussing on my smallest spare room at the moment. I'm toying withthe idea of turning this into a study, so I'd love to have this looking much better by the end of February. I'm sorting through some suitcases of old clothes at the minute. I've been saving them in the hope that I will lose weight and get backinto them, but itis time to let lots of them go!
    2024 goals
    GC: Jan £160 (annual £1920)
    Savings: save £10K (or move house)
    Health: Lose 3 stone
    Mind: read at least 24 books
